No accounts will be closed for Mac users, naturally. They can continue to play on the Windows version of the game. If neither of those options work, ArenaNet is offering refunds to Mac users for client and gem store purchases. Otherwise, the development of Guild Wars 2 's next expansion, End of Dragons , is continuing.

As a reminder, this is how we describe the different levels of performance:. Join our gamer strong Discord server! Join Discord 26 Comments ikir on September 2, at pm Yeah but it is still a bugged, slow cider port. But I admit that is divided!
Sure i work in a support center and users just whine and blame. But anyway the forums was filled with rants, all my friends had problems we were about 6 players all quitted for bugs. Great news, I have downloaded it already and hope this weekend immerse myself several hours on it! Good to know! I know someone is working on the gamplay video but always nice to hear that even slightly older Macs can handle it.
Tried it yesterday, the game is more polished, they did a good job lately but the performance are not optimal. With high settings my Mac Pro drops frames… which is a joke considering i can run all other games to max setting like Bioshock Infinite.
This is welcome news but as others have mentioned the means by which is was ported remains an issue for at least some related to performance. Many keep telling me that the game runs great on their Mac so I can only conclude that it depends on the graphics card. Regarding the future of cider, only time will tell. Settings are all on LOW but nothing other expected on this aged beauty!
They must have redone the port, before it was a cider port, buggy and slow, and no it was not only my case since I was playing with friends and we all quit for this reason. Support was non existence and their Mac forums was full of complains. Not sure about other folks with slightly newer Macs but mine is handling it great.
I let it default settings in for me. Ric, First off, let me say thank you for all you have done to help Mac gaming. I just signed up for LUG, does that make me 18 again??? We still stalk the lands of GW for hours on end. Thanks again!! Your email address will not be published.
I tried PlayOnMac. I installed GW2 manually without a script using the defaults for everything. It runs, doesn't look awesome by default, and the framerate is very "bursty".
Drops when looking around. I would see this in the official client as well, but it seems to be worse. I haven't started messing with any settings yet since it took so long to download the entire game again I looked at the Linux script posted above and don't see that it does much other than provide a nicer interface to select some options, check some minimums, and handle a cursor issue. Ultimately it would be great to produce a script, but it is runnable without one right now.
So if anyone else tries it and has some success - and can offer solutions for performance - please let us know Although I still ran into issue when downloading the GW2. In terms of performance. My mount would disappear and suddenly load in, Something I always encounter when I used to play on a surface go tablet.
I have a recent-model Intel laptop so I'm probably going to try dual-booting this weekend. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment. Sign up for a new account in our community. It's easy!

Posted January In January, Anet announced: " Starting February 18, … the Mac client will no longer work after this date. Rosetta is, at least in theory, compatible with Wine.
If you have an Intel-based Mac, you could also choose to dual-boot Windows. One advantage of this approach is that you're just running GW2 on Windows natively, which is an officially supported platform. In which case you don't need most of what I'm posting below. What we don't know: Whether any solution outlined below will continue to work for any given GW2 release.
Benefits: Best performance: no extra layers or emulation. Stability: closest to how Windows GW2 is intended to run. Drawbacks: You need to make room on your system for another OS. You have to reboot to switch between Mac OS and Windows. Some Windows features are limited until you buy an OS license key. Backup your machine! Follow Apple's instructions for installing Windows 10 or the more detailed ones here.
You may be unable to connect to the Internet while Windows installs. Boot into Windows and download the Guild Wars 2 game client for Windows most likely you will want bit. If you have other software you use during play Discord, for example you will want to install a copy of that on the Windows partition as well. TODO: Add information about disk space requirements. Benefits: Easy task switching: games still run inside Mac OS.
Can work with Apple Silicon. Drawbacks: Degraded performance: you're adding extra layers to every single thing the game does, basically. Possibly unstable or difficult to configure. Start Porting Kit. Go to Library. Search for "Guild Wars 2" to see if there's an "out-of-the-box" installer you can use. If there is, you can probably skip this stuff.
